Dadou Pasquet refers to André "Dadou" Pasquet, a prominent Haitian musician best known as the co-founder of the influential kompa band Magnum Band. The group was formed in Miami on June 24, 1976, by Pasquet and his brother Claude, following André's tenure as a musician with the legendary group Tabou Combo. Magnum Band became a seminal force in the kompa genre, helping to popularize Haitian music internationally.
The Pasquet family's contributions to Haitian music are notable, with Magnum Band being recognized among the important groups in kompa. Their legacy has been honored in various events, such as tributes to influential figures in the kompa scene and celebrations of the Haitian diaspora's cultural impact. These acknowledgments highlight the family's enduring influence on Caribbean music.
Recently, the Pasquet name has appeared in news due to the passing of Carlos Pasquet Sr., a family member, as reported in obituary notices in early 2024. This event has brought renewed attention to the musical legacy of the Pasquet family, reminding the public of their significant role in Haiti's cultural history through kompa music.
